Hi,
I have an entity with birthday and age properties.
The application manages the age one (the birthday is set only during persisting it the first time) that is set as @Transient (it's not on the db).

I use one method marked @PreUpdate to calculate the birthday giving the transient age field.

The problem is that is I only modify the age property the entity doesn't become dirty so the @PreUpdate method is not called.

If I modify some other property it works.

Is that the right way of doing those kind of things? How can I do to set the entity dirty from the age setter method?

Hope I was clear.

Thanks

Demetrio

anyone on this?

Thanks

Demetrio
